Certain occurrent weather from about March thru August. Once that is obtained we “flavor” that with the Enso but we do not start with the Enso as determinant

Mid-Atlantic summer hottest temperature contest
WEATHER53 replied to PrinceFrederickWx's topic in Mid Atlantic
How about a combo top 15 from winter and summer contests? -

Not a bad winter for cold and snow lovers Dec: -2 to -3 Jan:-3 to -5 Feb :+2 to +4 Overall: -1 to -1.5 Snowfall DCA:12-16” Suburbs:15-20” Analog years 1955(56), 1960(61), 1999(2000), 2003(04), 2010(11), 2018(19) i think it’s around average or slightly mild thru mid December and then becomes very cold thru late January before a dramatic flip to milder temps thru February. Looking forward to reading other outlooks

Here come the inflow clouds, breezy and getting cooler.

I think the ENSO results are Not as “in stone” determinant as we thought back 2003-2013. You had people swearing and livid that analogs could not be used because a referenced year was a weak Nina and the upcoming year looked to be weak Nino. I don’t know and I don’t think anybody really does what is the deciding factor. I do know that for the DC area if the cold air does not set up almost perfectly then snow is hard to come by but what controls and dictates that is up to debate and discovery.

Yeah I think you are next in line behind Matt and Keith but very close and your stats suggest even better. I know I always value yours and look forward to it.

KA has retired from the long range forecasts. Other than Matt Ross nobody had a lengthy track record like that, approaching 70% and to my record keeping since 1980 there were just 4 times where he missed on both snowfall and temps with 22 double hits and just the four mentioned double misses. i will be still doing mine and I’m about 62/63% but not as good as he or Matt.

NWS in the overall does an adequate job. It may be a C or B- but they don’t fail. I don’t evaluate them as if they are the only source. I don’t think they have to be “the very best” source either. They serve the public. They may not serve us well enough but we have sharper needs and info.

Well thank goodness Josh is OK. i wonder if this will effect his chase enthusiasm. Remember that video of him wading around in a lobby pushing some people on a mattress? We got to have a get together for him around DC

Well it does look like that and the Palm leaves that did not get blown off were likely under water

Appears according to NWS radar to be 4” in one hour in several metro locations

-

-

-
Not a disaster

I was In that torrent between Andrews and Camp Springs around 6. Sheer downpour with sun blazing slightly to west.
-
NWS really been missing bad all summer on rain and storm calls for DC proper. Missed a few that were significant and overreacting to each event that generally miss us.
-
Some spots in DE along rte 13 showing 5/6” rain.
-
Heat index is not but 100-102 is hard to come by and at prime time heat Saturday we are ranging 93-97. The reason why-too humid. Really need 35% rh or lower to get the triple digits and more. We’ve been around 50%. Winds are west today but not really drying things out and creating a spike. Barry left behind a lot of moisture and the high just was not strong enough to scour that out.
-
Most lightning this season or last several. Had 4 strikes with instant thunder in 10 min period.
-
Thunderstorm blew up over me and it’s pouring again
-
About two miles north up Georgia Ave from Beltway
-
Most thunder reports in recent memory
